Make or purchase
mascarpone. Drain
plain yogurt or purchase Greek Yogurt.
|
|
|
|
In a bowl of an electric mixer, add yogurt, mascarpone
and sugar. Beat on high 30-60 seconds. |
Add vanilla and beat until combined. |
Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and
refrigerate until needed. |
1 c (8 oz) drained or greek plain yogurt
1 c (8oz)
mascarpone (home-made or store-bought)
1/2 c sugar
1 t pure vanilla
extract For best
taste and texture, don't over-beat. Beat only until soft peaks form.
If stiff peaks form, it starts to take on whipped cream taste. This is
great
of course for whipped cream, but takes away from the great taste here.

To fill crepes, spread 3-4 T down the middle of the
crepe. |
Fold 1/2 inch of the ends in
overlapping the bottom and top of the filling. |
Fold one side over, covering the filling. |
|
|
|
|
Roll to securely close the crepe. |
Using a serrated knife, cut the
crepe in half. |
Transfer to a serving tray and repeat with remaining
crepes. |

|
Refrigerate up to 4 hours. Serve chilled or at room
temperature with fresh fruit and berry syrup! |

Problems
Substitutions I wouldn't recommend
substituting yogurt for the drained or greek yogurt, the topping will be too
thin.
Cream cheese is an acceptable substitution for the mascarpone.
It's not as good, but easier to find.
For a richer taste use creme
fraiche in place of the drained yogurt. It is delicious!
